It can be remembered that Uhuru's main challenger, Raila Odinga, boycotted the repeat election which he has labelled a sham and called on his supporters to embark on civil disobedience and economic boycott.

As reported by TUKO.co.ke, Raila did not challenge Uhuru's win in the Supreme Court but was enjoyed by the petitioners as a respondent. However, the court struck out his name from the petitions.

Unlike the previous petition which saw the court nullify Uhuru's win in the August 8 election, the second round of petitioning saw a low turn out at the court with politicians skipping the submissions.

The court has two options: to uphold Uhuru's win which will see him sworn in a week later to serve as president for a second term, or to nullify Uhuru's win for a second time and call for fresh elections within 60 days.

The ruling comes amid heightened political tensions and security concerns in the country.

On Friday, November 17, several opposition supporters were left dead and others injured when they clashed with police as they welcomed Raila back from the US.
